Description

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Use Bitwarden to fill in password. It asks for fingerprint, as previously set up.

### Expected Result

The app will unlock.

### Actual Result

A green "verified" mark appears, indicating the fingerprint recognition was successful, but a dialogue window from Bitwarden pops up and says that the unlock failed, and biometrics unlock must be re-enabled in the app. Then it asks for the master password.
